    I was reading my son some nursery rhymes and came qcross Little Jack Horner.

    The first lines are "Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his christmas pie."

    I remember it being humble pie not christmas pie.

    How, exactly, does one pull a plum out of humble pie?

    It was always Christmas pie for me. However, I'd be curious to hear if it was indeed originally "humble", and about a child who was being disciplined.

    Your parents were cruel. I can tell. Would you like to tell us all about it? We're just your school, we can't put anyone in jail.

    Little Jack Horner = Trump.

    Nothing humble about him. Nothing good about him, but he thinks he's awesome.

    I'm glad I read this. The information about humble pie being a punishment for kids was really interesting. Thanks for posting it.
